Abstract
COVID-19 has highlighted the complexity of the natural world and the interconnectedness of humans and nonhuman species. As cities around the world cope in new forms of lockdown, the anthropause has provided us with opportunities to question our human organising systems and reimagine new forms of accountabilities. We ask, who speaks for nonhumans? Until we acknowledge the complex interrelationships amongst humans and nonhuman species, and challenge the prevailing human-centered nature of accounting and accountability, we have limited ways of moving toward more pluralistic forms of accounting.
